Hello,
I would reconsider this setup. Your CPU has socket LGA 1151 and the mainboard LGA 1150. Either you choose a mainboard with socket 1151 or you take a CPU with LGA 1150.

But otherwise you can build it from my point of view.

(It just depends on what you want to do with it).

Greetings

Hello,
No, you can't build the PC like that.

Motherboard:
Make sure you buy a motherboard with socket LGA 1151, otherwise the processors from Gen 6 and higher will not fit.

Processor:
Depending on your application (gaming? video editing?) I would strongly consider investing in an i-5 processor. I don't know if your CPU is overclocked, if not take a processor WITHOUT the K addition because they cost less.

RAM:
Go to the motherboard manufacturer's website and check the manual to see what RAM is compatible, it is recommended to buy one of these for compatibility reasons. I recommend buying DDR4 RAM, it's not much more expensive but it's the new standard. (but make sure your motherboard is compatible with DDR4).

Memory:
I STRONGLY recommend installing an SSD, the PC runs significantly faster. (even if it is only a 125 GB for the operating system.

Otherwise:
You are still missing a version of Windows, assuming you can't get yours from school/work/uni.

LG Nico

If it is not too late. This is a mining mainboard. It is not suitable for gaming, workstations, etc., but for mining Bitcoin, Litecoin, Etherium, etc. The socket does not match the processor. In addition, the socket does not match the processor.

Hello

1. when you buy a new cooler there is always a layer of thermal compound applied, you don't need to buy extra thermal compound unless you want to replace it with the better one but I don't think you need to with an i3.

2. why no SSD? SSD is much faster and more durable. Recommendation 120GB for Windows and a few standard programs should be enough, and you can use the HDD as mass storage for games, photos etc.

3. this motherboard is not compatible with the i3 8350K, you need to buy a Z370 motherboard. This motherboard is for workstation and mining and is a different socket.

4. you don't need such a big power supply, a 300-350 watt is enough because the 1050ti doesn't need a power cable, the GPU draws power from the motherboard.

5. if you buy a motherboard with 2 RAM slots, I recommend an 8GB RAM bar, because you can easily add another one, if you take 2 RAM bars with little memory, you have to replace them completely and you have virtually made a loss, unless you buy a board with 4 bars and are sure you do not need more RAM memory.

And if you do decide to buy an SSD, make sure you have enough SATA3 cables, most boards come with 2.
